Did you try anything from this list?

Thanks, looks great! What about link building? It's also an effective low-budget approach for getting referral traffic and generating leads.

When it comes to making their own shopping decisions, people continue to place a high value on word-of-mouth referrals from others. In light of this, you can maximise the marketing potential of a single recommendation. If you haven't already, think about implementing a referral programme where existing customers are rewarded for bringing in new ones. A referral programme doesn't have to be expensive but may significantly benefit your business. For instance, you can think about only providing a minor service discount for each new client.

When thinking of partnerships, don't limit it to just affiliate partners.

Thank you for these ideas, Sveta!

I have searched the website for comfort or efficiency to complete this process and I think this is the most suitable run 3 on the site to do it effectively.

I did everything from this and also the best way is to start going out onsite/in-person like setting up a booth at a university or any public area to get users to start seeing the brand LIVE. It is also good feedback to test your product if it really works in a real-world environment.

A random, creative hack I've read about: send very small Venmo's to people to get on their radar. Has anyone ever tried this?

Of course, you need to launch the product on Product Hunt, but you still need to find those who would first test your product, and I really like this list.

I would also add TikTok. If you are building a consumer product it is a must.

Brilliant list and article Sveta Thank you!
